ABOUT WMF IKORA WMF Ikora, an exceptional line of decorative art and metalwork, was produced by the prestigious German company Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik, commonly known as WMF. This collection garnered worldwide recognition for its innovative and aesthetically captivating designs. WMF Ikora pieces were primarily crafted during the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s. This era was characterized by a departure from traditional design, embracing bold, geometric patterns, and an exploration of new materials and techniques. The WMF Ikora collection perfectly embodied this spirit of innovation and artistic exploration. One of the distinguishing features of WMF Ikora pieces is their striking use of mixed metals. Artisans at WMF expertly combined various metals, including copper, brass, and silver, to create harmonious and visually engaging compositions. The interplay of these metals produced a captivating array of colors, textures, and finishes, making each Ikora piece a unique work of art. The acid-etching technique was another hallmark of WMF Ikora. By selectively applying acid to the metal surface, artisans achieved controlled corrosion, creating intricate and often abstract designs. This process added depth and character to the metalwork, resulting in pieces that were not only functional but also served as decorative art objects. WMF Ikora items encompassed a wide range of products, from bowls and vases to candleholders and lighting fixtures. The designs featured a diverse array of motifs, including geometric patterns, organic shapes, and abstract forms, all of which reflected the dynamic and evolving artistic tastes of the Art Deco era. WMF Ikora pieces are highly collectible today due to their artistic value and historical significance. They exemplify the spirit of artistic exploration and craftsmanship that defined the Art Deco period. Whether displayed as individual art objects or incorporated into stylish interiors, WMF Ikora continues to be cherished for its innovative designs and enduring beauty.
